[QUOTE="AstroCreep, post: 11373, member: 3393"] Reaching 150 km on odo, electronic gremlins starting to appear.... 10 days ago I had 'trans. failsafe prog' error message on ODU, and airbag light coming up once in a while. Check bimmer.org, uk forum etc for advice, tried some tricks, but the problem stayed. Went to see my mech last Wednesday, chk fault codes etc, and it seemed like a 'major operation' was required. Set 'appointment' for Monday, and was ready to send in the car this week and prepared mentally some serious deep pocket expenses.... (ready for nasi and kicap, air kosong everyday, etc...sob! sob!) ... but suddenly, 3 days before the 'appointment', all error messages gone away..... Don't understand why and how, totally confused, but glad at the same time. Any strange experience with 'trans. failsafe prog' or other strange electronics faultcodes? I'm just worried that this would lead to something bigger. :( [/QUOTE]
